It’s really an excellent platform for collaboration, so let’s get started with the installation.

GitLab also provides teams a single data store, one user interface, and one permission model across the DevOps life-cycle, allowing teams to collaborate which would significantly reduce cycle time and focus exclusively on building great software quickly. It provides flexibility in deploying as an internal repository store for a development team, a public way to interface with users, or a means for contributors to host their own projects. GitLab Community Edition is designed to be hosted on your own infrastructure. We’ll be installing Community Edition in this tutorial. GitLab comes in two editions: Community Edition, and Enterprise Edition. GitLab is an open source application that allows a team or developer to manage their project on their own servers – it’s an alternative to GitHub.

In this article, we will show you how to install GitLab Community Edition on an Ubuntu 18.04 Cloud VPS.
